999 call on Christmas Day to help find lost drone
Police have criticised a caller who rang 999 on Christmas day for help to find their lost drone.
West Mercia Police Operations and Communications Centre has revealed that a contact handler answered a 999 call, which turned out to be someone requesting a police officer to help find a drone.
The tweet said: "We have just had the following 999 call.
"Contact Handler - Hello caller what is your emergency?
"Caller - I have just lost my new drone can an officer come and help look for it?
"This is not an appropriate use of 999, even on Xmas day! #MakeTheRightCall."
